Book tour schedule

I head off on the book tour for the Peterson Field Guide to Moths in a week and a half! I’m busy finalizing details and getting myself organized to go; lots of little things to take care of before then.

Here’s the final tour schedule. If you have a question about any of these events, please contact the person listed (if it’s regarding the facilities) or myself (if it’s regarding the event details, or if no person is listed).

Hey Seabrooke! We look forward to seeing you April 30th in Ohio. :) This event is presented by The Nature Conservancy Ohio. Also – you should put East Liberty (Columbus) for the location since there is another Middleburg that folks may confuse this with. Thanks and safe traveling!

When I was setting up the tour, I opened it up and asked anyone interested in hosting me to contact me, which seemed a lot easier than me trying to find locations for regions I was unfamiliar with. Unfortunately, no one from Pittsburgh came forward, but the Wheeling, WV, event isn’t that far, only an hour’s drive. I wish I had more time to visit more areas.

It surprises me no one from this area expressed an interest. There are three large birding/nature clubs close to the city as well as an Audubon Society branch. The Carnegie Museum has a large nature section as well as a huge field station. Add the botanical groups and there are so many who should have responded or at least passed the word along to those of us who are mothing and were looking forward to the publication of the book. Heavens, the man who is responsible for the PA moths on BAMONA lives in the city! Good luck with the tour.

I am a biologist and naturalist, writer and photographer, but most of all a lover of nature. I live on 130 rural acres in eastern Ontario, surrounded by woods and meadows that are my inspiration. I try to hike our land nearly every day, and I always carry my camera with me. I enjoy sharing my discoveries here.
